Find and record programs on MythTV

Inspired by MythWeb's Canned Searches feature, mythme makes it easy to create and save custom queries. For example, a query named Horror Movies of the 1930s:

The result after clicking Save:

• python 3
• mariadb connector/c

This installs to a local virtual environment.

python -m venv ~/.local --system-site-packages
~/.local/bin/pip install mythme

The MYTHME_DIR environment variable points to a directory where mythme stores saved queries and other items. It's also where you can create a mythme.yaml file to configure mythme.

export MYTHME_DIR="~/.mythme"

(default is ~/.mythme)

In many cases no configuration is required. This is especially true if you're running mythme on MythTV's master backend host.

For Database Configuration, mythme looks for ~/.mythtv/config.xml and uses the <Database> element if present.

To determine the MythTV Services API host, mythme tries BackendServerAddr and BackendStatusPort from MythTV's settings db table.

Settings specified in $MYTHME_DIR/mythme.yaml override the autoconfig values above. Here's an example mythme.yaml:

database:
  host: '192.168.0.70'
  port: 3306
  database: mythconverg
  username: mythtv
  password: mythtv

mythtv:
  api_base: http://192.168.0.70:6544

Make sure ~/.local/bin is in your $PATH.

mythme

Access mythme in your web browser at: http://localhost:8000/mythme.
